Unto Others<\/a><\/strong> is a stellar band that has so much to offer so many different kinds of fans. Certainly, the metal aspect is there. There are loud, distorted, guitars, a great deal of speed and just the right amount of attitude. But in addition, for those of us who love the goth and a touch of pop, this band really scratches the itch.<\/p>\n I’m a huge fan of bands like Sisters of Mercy<\/strong>, Tribulation<\/a><\/strong>, Love and Rockets<\/strong> and, of course, Type O Negative<\/a><\/strong>. As such, I’ve been following this band since their early days back when they were known as Idle Hands<\/strong>. Their first record Mana<\/em> was intriguing. They followed it up with the powerful Strength<\/em>. Never, Neverland<\/em>, however, is actually their best yet.<\/p>\n The band took a more collaborative approach to this recording with lead vocalist and guitarist Gabriel Franco <\/strong>letting go of the reins a bit. Additionally, bassist Brandon Hill<\/strong> adds backup vocals for the first time in the band’s history. Franco<\/strong> calls this newest record “The best thing we’ve ever done.” He’s not wrong. This record really demonstrates a great evolution in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n \n
